I have found in the archives recently put on line by the Kentucky Land Office a military warrant granting my ancestor 200 acres for 3 years service in the Virginia Continental Line. It is dated June 17, 1784. Previously I had seen in the Library of Virginia a voucher by an officer certifying this ancestor's service of three years, dated June 5, 1784. It was persumably part of his application for land, but there was no land warrant in the files. What if anything is indicated by the fact that the warrant is now held in the files of the state of Kentucky? Was the land ever granted to him or his son, or was the warrant simply moved with land files when Kentucky was made a state? His son did receive a grant of 200 acres "south of Green River" in 1799, followed by other land grants in 1807, but there is nothing in the existing grants to indicate that any of them are due to the Revolutionary War service of his father.
